Thank you for the kind words. The counselor was concerned that he was too attached to his family and not letting go to form a new family. I have stood up for him many times as his mom gave its the loser brother and my husband has dealt with it so long he doesn’t know better. I don’t want my husband treated like that. He says not the issue that I just didn’t like his mom. She suggested we do date nights, he help me around the house more, and him do things like run me baths and show me love so that I feel more secure in our relationship. She suggested I go around his brother-who has been one of the issues here also. He is one that is the prodigal son, and his mom favors him and hurts my husband quite a bit. This was back in August and none of those things he has done for me. I have apologized to his mother standing up to her and have now gone around his brother. So I am holding up my end. He has not.
